Security Provisions; Password Protection; Types Of User Rights - HP StorageWorks 64 - SAN Director Switch Planning Manual

Security Provisions

Security provisions are available to restrict unauthorized access to a director,
switch, or attached Fibre Channel devices. Access to the director or switch
(through the HAFM application, Product Manager application, and Web server
interface) is restricted by implementing password protection. Access to attached
computing resources (including applications and data) is restricted by
implementing name server zoning.

Password Protection

Access to the HAFM and Product Manager applications requires configuration of
a user name and password. Up to 16 user names and associated passwords can be
configured, although only 9 users can log in concurrently (8 remote and 1 local).
Each user is assigned rights that allow access to specific sets of product
management operations.
